Defined benefit Registered Pension Plans(RPPs) are sometimes established for one main income earner, generally an employee of a corporation that he or she controls. Sometimes a spouse or other family member(who is employed by the corporation) is also added as a member of such a plan. Budget 2011 proposes two new tax measures that will apply to these plans(referred to as “individual pension plans” or “IPPs”). 2, record 3, English, - individual%20pension%20plan

Un régime de pension agréé (RPA) à prestations déterminées est parfois établi pour le principal soutien d’une famille, qui est généralement un employé d’une société qu’il contrôle. Il peut aussi arriver qu’un conjoint ou un autre membre de la famille (qui est employé par la société) soit également ajouté à titre de participant de ce régime. Deux nouvelles mesures fiscales sont proposées dans le budget de 2011 à l’égard de ces régimes (appelés « régime de retraite individuel » ou «RRI»). 2, record 3, French, - plan%20de%20retraite%20individuel

Proposals for a "flat tax" raise a number of important questions that would have to be addressed in the design of such a tax. For example, a flat tax would likely be less equitable than our current tax system, which has a progressive rate structure and provisions that take into account differing individual and family circumstances. Since a flat-tax system has only one tax rate, it tends to increase taxes on lower-and middle-income earners, while cutting taxes on high-income people. 1, record 5, English, - middle%2Dincome%20earner
